FireStrip-ALX 1m for 20mm gap

Fire rated up to 240mins - Acoustic isolation to 22dB - Highly flexible and water resistant - Halogen free, resists fungi and vermin - Tested in linear joints up to 150mm wide, concrete floors, block wall, concrete and masonry - See MORE benefits below

FireStrip - ALX is elastomeric foam laminated with a graphite based intumescent compound on both sides. It is designed to perform as a 2 or 4 - hour barrier in construction movement joints . Designed for long linear installations in horizontal and vertical applications. FireStrip - ALX is a flexible water resistant seal that expands when exposed to heat. It can also be used as a fire barrier inside cable trunkings allowing for the installation of further cables.
